* Updates Fluentd to 1.3.2 & added filter_parser  ([#71180](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71180), [@monotek](https://github.com/monotek))
* The leaderelection package allows the lease holder to release its lease when the calling context is cancelled. This allows ([#71490](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/71490), [@smarterclayton](https://github.com/smarterclayton))

- kubelet: Users can now enable the alpha NodeLease feature gate to have the Kubelet create and periodically renew a Lease in the kube-node-lease namespace. The lease duration defaults to 40s, and can be configured via the kubelet.config.k8s.io/v1beta1.KubeletConfiguration's NodeLeaseDurationSeconds field. ([#66257](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/66257), [@mtaufen](https://github.com/mtaufen))...

- 'Promoted the `APIServerIdentity` feature to Beta. By default, each `kube-apiserver`
  will now create a Lease in the `kube-system` namespace. These lease objects can
  be used to identify the number of active API servers in the cluster, and may also
  be used for future features such as the Storage Version API.'

 - Kubeadm: the flag `--cri-socket` is no longer allowed in a mixture with the flag `--config`. Please use the kubeadm configuration for setting the CRI socket for...

* kube-apiserver: the default `--endpoint-reconciler-type` is now `lease`. The `master-count` endpoint reconciler type is deprecated and will be removed in 1.13. ([#63383](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/63383), [@liggitt](https://github.com/liggitt))

  Please use the following format for linking documentation:

    * --alpha-endpoint-reconciler-type=(master-count, lease, none) (default
    * "master-count"). The original reconciler is 'master-count'. The 'lease'
    * reconciler uses the storageapi and a TTL to keep alive an endpoint within the
    * `kube-apiserver-endpoint` storage namespace. The 'none' reconciler is a noop

- The `v1` version of `LeaderMigrationConfiguration` supports only `leases` API for leader election. To use formerly supported mechanisms, please continue using `v1beta1`. ([#108016](https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/108016), [@jiahuif](https://github.com/jiahuif))
